This is my purple Nebula quilt that I just finished. It is a Bargello pattern called Nebula, by Eileen Wright. (In case you have forgotten, a nebula is an exploding star. Her pattern shows a quilt made in oranges and red...beautiful. But I had to make mine in purple. Just had to. Exploding stars can be purple, right??)

I really love this quilt and have since I started it. I am, however, very glad that the top is done and I can start sandwiching. It feels like I have been on this quilt for a very long time. :)

Thanks for looking.

I’m glad to see this quilt top finished. It is a very nice pattern (of a bargello). One of the best I’ve seen. Great job on finishing this top and yes you have been working on it a long time. I hope I do not miss the final finish of quilting and binding.

Dina, you are after my own heart. Such sheer beauty! I love the purples and the pattern of course. Thanks for sharing this quilt with us.

Stunning. Exploding stars can be any color you wish!

That is gorgeous! What size did it end up as?
I made it in the reds oranges and yellows for a dd for Christmas so haven't posted pictures yet. Isn't a perfect as yours though. I was quilting it on my DSM and discovered two (more) mistakes. I thought I'd caught all of them :(
Named mine Vortex.

Mine ended up 74 inches square. The pattern doesn't call for borders, but I really like borders. I added a 2 inch inner border and a 5 1/2 inch outer border...these are finished sizes.

Hi Dina,
I LOVE your quilt in purple!!! In Eileen Wright's book, the Nebula quilt is 59" x 59". Your quilt looks longer than wider. Did you adjust the pattern at all? I'm going to make a lap quilt and would like to extend the length. Any suggestions?

SallyS 04-14-2022 09:12 AM

It is beautiful, especially in purple! How are you going to quilt it?

Luna Tique 04-14-2022 12:21 PM

Love the royal purple, fit for a Queen...size bed that is. Great job.

Karamarie 04-14-2022 01:14 PM

Wow, that is beautiful!!!

A bold and beautiful statement. What fun you will have explaining the name and pattern to those who ask.

rjwilder 04-15-2022 03:16 AM
